On the bright side, the vette owner did win the drifting competition.

Too funny!

The Eclipse owner needs a new tail light and it's obvious he had that car loaded up pretty good for the track based on the rubber and other mods you could hear.

The C5 convertible looked bone stock!

He just wanted to put the turns into the track that the Vette was built to do. I will never comprehend running a Corvette on a drag strip.

And the fog lamps were on. He looks good that way. On the other hand the rice rocket did make a nice clean run.

If it was in Bahrain, the vette driver probably had it recently imported and is used to turd cars with no power.

Funny though, maybe he should wear some drag tires, or warm up the tires, probably had RF and they are tricky when one tire has different PSI

Maybe he was unlucky enough for an idiot at tire shop to put one RF rear and one non RF rear tire, like some idiot at Discount Tire did to my car when the car lot worker had a nail embedded tire replaced. My car has one Michelin A/S ZP and one non ZP rear, it gets tricky sometimes when my car hits 2nd gear. yes I will be changing out one or both of them soon, sucks to have less than 5K miles on them.
